I Love Handwritten Letters

Does anyone write letters anymore? As in handwritten in pen, on paper, sealed in an envelope and stamped? Receiving a letter was like getting a small gift in my mailbox. Someone took the time out of his or her day to think of me, sit down, and craft a little slice of company for me. I, in turn, did the same. Even had a fountain pen I would use on my good paper to write to a select few. Are those days gone for good?

I know technology has taken over. It would be nice to send and receive something tangible now and then.

I can't write as well as I use to, my hands hurt. I use to write long letters to family and friends. I still send cards in the mail with short letters inside now. It's much more personal and I love that. All the blue mail boxes are disappearing, but there's still one by my house that I love to drop a card or two in. 💞📮💌⭐

Yep the same thing with me, my hand literally hurts because it's not used to forming written letters. That is just ridiculous. It makes me almost angry and I have been making an effort to write more. I love technology but it's lost us many things.

@ravenwind43: I have a little arthritis setting in, plus I had carpel tunnel that led to surgery. I try, but just can't write all the long letters that I loved doing before. I totally agree with what you've said about technology. People don't get together and have cook outs, play cards and things like in "the good old days." 💕
